NSV -- my favorite dress!

Just wanted to share a little NSV that totally made my day! Several years ago, I had bought this fabulous dress from Banana Republic for a cousin's wedding. It's strapless, silky, with big orange hibiscus-like flowers on it; it's a size 8 and it had fit me perfectly at the time (so I never got rid of it). Three years ago, I planned to wear it to my own college graduation, but realized 2 weeks prior that it wouldn't zip anymore Throughout my weight loss venture, I've tried it on every now and again just to see, but it still hasn't fit.
Fast forward to today, when I'm preparing to speak at another graduation event (from graduate school), and I figured I'd try it on again just out of curiosity, and it zipped! And it looked fantastic! And I looked fantastic! I know I'm not quite down to my original weight from when I bought it, but I'm smaller than I was when I graduated with my B.A. :happy: --happy dancing around in dress--
